Aarons' rod was a confirmation of his priesthood. Numbers 17:1-11
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and get from them a rod from each father's house, all their leaders according to their fathers' houses-twelve rods. Write each man's name on his rod. 3 And you shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi. For there shall be one rod for the head of each father's house. 4 Then you shall place them in the tabernacle of meeting before the Testimony, where I meet with you. 5 And it shall be that the rod of the man whom I choose will blossom; thus I will rid Myself of the complaints of the children of Israel, which they make against you."
6 So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each of their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 7 And Moses placed the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the rod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds. 9 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, "Bring Aaron's rod back before the Testimony, to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put their complaints away from Me, lest they die." 11 Thus did Moses; just as the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

∙ 8y agoMoses' rod was used in some of the plagues which God brought upon Egypt. On those occasions, Moses raised his rod and the plague then began (such as in Exodus 9:23). .Moses' rod was used similarly at the splitting of the Sea of Reeds (Exodus 14:16) and at other times (such as when God brought forth water from the boulder in Exodus 17:5, and in the battle with Amalek in 17:9).
According to tradition, Moses' rod was not an ordinary stick. It had been prepared by God beforehand (Mishna, Avot ch.5).

1970's song throw it down Moses?
Link to a recording of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGChgh5D-rw Here are the lyrics: Moses by Ken Medema Old Moses, way back there in the wilderness, Saw some smoke, came to the bush, And the bush was burnin’. God said, “Take off your shoes, Moses. You’re on holy ground. Moses, I’ve chosen you to be my man, Moses, ‘way down in Egypt land. Moses, I’ve chosen you to work for me, Moses, I’ve chosen you to set my people free.” “Not me, Lord. Don’t you know I can’t talk so good; I stutter all the time. Do you know my brother Aaron? He can sing like an angel, talk like a preacher. Not me, Lord. I can’t talk so good. And another thing... How will they know that I’ve been here with you? How will they know what you’ve sent me to do? Don’t you know in Egypt, they want little Moses’ head? Don’t you know in Egypt, they want little Moses dead? Don’t you know they’ll never hear a single word I say? Maybe you’d better get your dirty work done another way. Not me, Lord!” “What’s that in your hand, Moses?” “It’s just a rod.” “Throw it down, Moses.” “Do you mean, like, on the ground?” “Yes, I said throw it down, Moses.” “Lord, don’t take my rod away from me. Don’t you know it’s my only security? Don’t you know when you live here all alone, A man’s gotta have something he can call his own? Not me, Lord!” “Throw it down, Moses.” “But, Lord, I...” “Throw it down, Moses.” “But...” “Throw it down, Moses!” Moses threw the rod on the ground, And the rod became a hissing snake! Well, Moses started runnin’. Well, maybe you’d run. Well, maybe I’d run. He was a-runnin’ from a hot rod! Runnin’ from a hissing snake! Runnin’ scared of what God’s gonna do! Runnin’ scared, he’ll get a hold of you! And the Lord said, “Stop! Pick it up Moses, by the tail!” “Lord, you have not lived here very long! Lord, you’ve got the whole thing wrong! Don’t you know that you never pick up A hissing snake by his...” “Pick it up, Moses!” “Oh, God, it’s a rod again!” “Do you know what it means, Moses? Do you know what I’m trying to say, Moses?” The rod of Moses became the rod of God. With the rod of God, strike the rock and the water will come. With the rod of God, part the waters of the sea. With the rod of God, you can strike old Pharaoh dead. With the rod of God, you can set the people free. What do you hold in your hand today? To what or to whom are you bound? Are you willing to give it to God right now? Give it up, let it go, throw it down.
